Summary:
Faced with questions about how to adapt and reuse a former industrial site in the center of town, an international insurance corporation, together with the Swiss city of Winterthur, held a competition among architecture and design firms to come up with an innovative, effective plan. The winning firm was the Vienna-based Architekt Krischanitz, and their submission, Superblock, is a striking idea given a brilliant execution: it combines a large workshop where diesel engines were assembled with newly constructed yet visually complementary buildings. This book details the project from concept to completion, using numerous photographs, plans, and visualizations to trace the history of the site, the genesis and development of the Superblock concept, and the revitalization of the neighborhood that it is expected to lead.

Summary:
Le catalogue officiel de l'exposition présentée au Centre Pompidou du 29 avril au 3 août 2015. Commémorant le cinquantenaire de la disparition de Le Corbusier, l'exposition organisée au Centre Pompidou invite à une relecture de son œuvre à travers le prisme de la figure humaine, dans sa corporalité mais aussi dans ses dimensions perceptive et spirituelle. Conçu dès 1943, le Modulor influencera toute une génération d'architectes. Bien que cette réflexion sur une mesure essentielle et universelle - « l'homme de série », pensant et percevant - soit au cœur de l'œuvre multiforme de Le Corbusier, il n'existait à ce jour aucune publication permettant d'appréhender cette notion fondamentale dans le travail de l'architecte. Étoffé par les contributions de jeunes chercheurs, le catalogue présente le parcours corbuséen à l'aune de cette thématique, depuis les origines jurassiennes jusqu'aux derniers jours au bord de la Méditerranée. Il met en lumière l'omniprésence de l'humain dans sa production, à partir d'éléments de l'œuvre peint, de réalisations ou de projets architecturaux, de meubles et d'écrits, qui témoignent de la richesse et de la complexité de sa pensée.

This monograph presents a selection of SMAQ’s projects in a way that brings this narrative quality to the fore. Interweaving short stories, project drawings, and photographs shed light on how design solutions gradually evolved out of the process, while three linked essays explain the guiding principles behind the firm’s work, intriguingly named "Giraffe," "Telegraph," and "Hero of Alexandria."

Rebecca Solnit, author of more than a dozen acclaimed, prizewinning books of nonfiction, brings her writing to the essays in Encyclopedia of Trouble and Spaciousness. As the title suggests, the territory of Solnit’s concerns is vast, and in her signature alchemical style she combines commentary on history, justice, war and peace, and explorations of place,art and community, all while writing with the lyricism of a poet to achieve incandescence and wisdom. Gathered here are celebrated iconic essays along with little-known pieces that create a powerful survey of the world we live in, from the jungles of the Zapatistas in Mexico to the splendors of the Arctic. This collection tours places as diverse as Haiti and Iceland; movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring; an original take on the question of who did Henry David Thoreau's laundry; and a searching look at what the hatred of country music really means.

Summary:
In 1969, the French oil company Total began implementing a mass-production model for its gas stations—large ones for France's freeways, and the smaller roadside units. The company called in Jean Prouvé, who had already amply demonstrated his skills in the field of prefabrication. This volume documents this dimension of Prouvé's "demontable" architecture.
